The Allee effect, or inverse density dependence at low population sizes, could seriously impact preservation and management of biological populations. The mounting evidence for widespread Allee effects has lately inspired theoretical studies of how Allee effects alter population dynamics. However, the recent mathematical models of Allee effects have been missing another important force prevalen...

The paper is an overview of our recent results achieved with different coauthors, concerning several research lines of applied population dynamics we initiated some years ago, and mostly published in 2010. First, based on the classical Leslie population model, a dynamic demographic model including controlled immigration is recalled, and applying the Perron-Frobenius theory of nonnegative matric...

Synthetic populations attempt to capture population dynamics of a geographic region and hence are widely used in large-scale multiagent applications simulating real-world phenomena. However, current synthetic populations are mostly static — individuals are assumed to perform same daily routine every day. My thesis aims at taking the first step towards making it a “live” synthetic population tha...

this paper investigates the dynamics and stability properties of a discrete-time lotka-volterra type system. we first analyze stability of the fixed points and the existence of local bifurcations. our analysis shows the presence of rich variety of local bifurcations, namely, stable fixed points; in which population numbers remain constant, periodic cycles; in which population numbers oscillate amo...
